Problems solved by technology

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that when the prior art separates ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol, the use of ordinary rectification requires a high reflux ratio and the number of theoretical plates, resulting in large investment and high energy consumption. The problem of harsh separation conditions or unsatisfactory separation effect of azeotropic distillation provides a new separation method of ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol

Abstract

The invention relates to a separating method for ethylene-glycol and 1,2-butanediol and mainly solves the problems that when the ethylene-glycol and the 1,2-butanediol are separated and purified in the prior art, a common precise distillation method requires very high reflux ratio and theoretical plate number, resulting in large investment and high energy consumption; an azeotropic distillation method is harsh in separation condition and undesirable in separating effect. According to the method adopting the technical scheme that material flow containing the ethylene-glycol and the 1,2-butanediol enters into an azeotropic rectification column from the lower part and an azeotropic agent enters the azeotropic rectification column from the top to obtain an azeotrope of the ethylene-glycol and the azeotropic agent at the top, the material flow containing the 1,2-butanediol is obtained in a tower kettle; after the azeotrope is subjected to condensation and phase-splitting, the azeotropic agent-rich phase at the upper layer returns to the azeotropic rectification column and continues performing azeotropic reaction while an ethylene-glycol-rich phase at the lower layer is subjected to refining to obtain the ethylene-glycol product, and the problems are well solved. Therefore, the method can be used for industrial production for separating the ethylene-glycol and the 1,2-butanediol.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating and purifying a stream containing ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol, which can be used for separating and purifying ethylene glycol from oxalate ester hydrogenation liquid phase products, and can also be used for other streams containing ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol - Separation of the butanediol stream. Background technique [0002] Ethylene glycol is an important basic organic chemical raw material, mainly used for copolymerization with terephthalic acid to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In addition, ethylene glycol can also be used in the production of antifreeze, lubricants, plasticizers, non-ionic surfactants and explosives, etc., and has a wide range of uses. my country is a big consumer of ethylene glycol. In recent years, with the completion and operation of a number of large-scale PET plants, the demand for ethylene glycol has increased rapidly. The current domestic ethylene g...
